Commission &
Benediction
(inspired by Deuteronomy 6:4-5, Matthew 12:28-34)
Hear this: the Lord our God is the one and only Lord.
Therefore go out into the world
and love the Lord your God
with all your heart, soul, mind and strength,
and love others as you love yourself.
And may God give you justice and freedom;
May Christ Jesus set you free for love;
and may the Holy Spirit go where you go
........and protect you on your way.
We go in peace to love and serve the Lord,
…In the name of Christ. Amen.
